False assumptions behind U.S. 10 mile emergency evacuation zones

In a June 5th video posted at the Updates section of the Fairewinds Associates website, nuclear engineer Arnie Gundersen explains how false assumptions and speculations by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission undermine the adequacy of current 10 mile emergency evacuation zones around U.S. atomic reactors. The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear catastrophe has shown clearly that NRC's assumptions are overly optimistic. In fact, NRC -- followed by the White House and State Department -- instructed Americans in Japan to evacuate at least 50 miles away from the triple meltdown, pool fire(s), and explosions.
